A surprise!

A month or so ago a neighbor was getting rid of their old turtle sandbox, and so we said we'd take it. We finally got around to getting some sand and today while H was napping we set it all up. We pulled out some of the outdoor toys we had and it was a perfect set up.

We rounded the corner and when he saw the sandbox he threw down his cup and ran right to it.

"Sandbox, Mama!"

He typically doesn't like sand on his hands/feet so I didn't know how it was going to work.
He didn't want to put his feet in for awhile, but eventually got over it and got very messy.

"Look at my brother!"

"Build a hill, Mama. Good idea."

"Plenty pictures."
(no more!)

zzzzz...

He had so much fun playing, building, scooping, and more.

"This is (the) best!"
